Final Shots: ‘Bloodline’ Season 3 Will Be The Last For Netflix

The forthcoming third season of Netflix’s original drama series Bloodline will be the show’s last. The original order for Season 3 of the Kyle Chandler-starring and Sony Pictures Television-produced series was for 13 episodes, which the platform has now cut to 10 in addition to lowering licensing fees.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, both Netflix and Sony deny any bad blood in relation to the cancellation, which may have to do with Florida cutting its entertainment tax incentives program, which in turn makes the series much more costly to produce. Series creators and executive producers Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman, and Glenn Kessler had previously divulged a plan for five or six total seasons of the drama.
